Amazon has confirmed its Treasure Truck is coming to the UK, with London and Manchester set to be the first stops.

The Treasure Truck, which is designed to look like a classic funfair attraction, only contains one exclusive product or amazing deal each time it rocks up at a given location.

In previous years, Amazon has included sold-out items customers were unable to buy from its online retail store inside the truck.

Treasure Truck will initially pop up in Manchester and London several times a month. Each offer included in the truck is a surprise and customers will have to act fast to get their hands on the kit, with only limited stock on the truck.

After customers purchase the product in the Amazon app, they then select a convenient time and place to pick up the item at the Treasure Truck.

Products have included the sold-out Nintendo SNES Classic Mini, GoPro cameras with a 65 per cent discount, Hatchimals and the latest Harry Potter book, Amazon confirmed.

With Treasure Truck tootling into further UK cities soon, customers can sign up now by texting ‘truck’ to 87377.

When the truck is ready to drive into town, customers will receive a text alert spilling the beans on that day’s treasure.

Amazon says all of the Treasure Truck products will be carefully selected to create a “spontaneous, one-of-a-kind shopping experience”.

Occasional celebrity appearances, interactive games, special seasonal events and on-the-spot prize giveaways can also be seen at the Treasure Truck stop.

Treasure Truck launched in Seattle in February 2016 and has since expanded to 24 cities in the United States.

Head of Treasure Truck for Amazon UK, James Quick said: “We all remember the sense of excitement we felt as children when we heard the jingle of the ice-cream van, and we hope to bring that same feeling with Treasure Truck.

“Every product has been cherry picked, from must-have Christmas presents to jaw-dropping offers, ensuring Treasure Truck will turn an ordinary day into something a bit more special.
